1. This is an appeal under section 117 of the Patents Act, 1970 against an
order dated 16 June 2020 passed in Patent Application
no.0041/KOLMP/2012.
2. The title of the subject invention is “Method of generating hybrid/chimeric
cells and uses thereof”. The invention relates to a tri-hybrid cell and the
method for preparing the same. It is contended that a tri-hybrid cell is
produced by an artificial process of fusion of three somatic cells of which at
least two are of different types and can be cells of humans and a mouse.
Such a hybrid cell is formed by using genetic engineering techniques and is
not an organism or part of a plant and animal nor does it involve any
essentially biological process for production or propagation of plants and
animals. In brief, the formation of a trihybrid cell essentially requires human
intervention so as to prepare it artificially and the same is not produced by
an essentially biological process for production or propagation of plants and
animals.
